Application of Hybrid-Ihacres models for water availability in Siak River

Abstract

Watershed management with potential water resources greater than or equal to 20% of the potential of water resources in the province requires a device capable of addressing those needs. The Siak river area is a potential source of water resources greater than 20%. Until now, the Siak river area does not yet have an integrated water resource information system; thus information on the potency of water absorption cannot be adequately recorded. Prediction of water availability in watersheds has significance for the management of a watershed. The research aims to develop a hydrological model to strengthen the water availability information to complete the water availability information. The built model is a combination of a conceptual model with wavelet (hybrid model) that is wavelet-ihacres. The wavelet transform method has the advantage of decomposing and reconstructing the data to produce better predictions. The results showed that the combined wavelet-ihacres have a coefficient correlation between observation data and output model of 0.737. The value is classified as a strong correlation.
